I created this Black Lotus lithophane by using lithophanemaker. I also wrote an article about creating your own if you are looking for a bit of help: 3D Printed Lithophane Lamp Project.

This is the artwork from the iconic MTG card Black Lotus by Christopher Rush.

Be sure to use a build plate the results in a flat surface (e.g. Smooth PEI/Cool plate) as a textured surface can potentially cause some distortion in the image. The print profile has the Smooth PEI plate selected. Be sure to change it if you're using a different build plate.

I used a 0.2mm nozzle and printed in PLA. Make sure your PLA spools are in the correct order in your AMS (from left to right, cyan-magenta-yellow-white).

If you end up printing this, please share a make and give this a review!

It came out fine! But I'm wondering if my textured PEI plate made it a bit blurry.

@TheMakerSphere

I know your print is already complete, but for future reference, a textured bottom (back) surface on a lithophane plate is not ideal. This is because the uneven surface can cast micro-shadows, slightly distorting the image, whereas a flat, even surface shouldn't. The print profile has the Smooth PEI plate selected for this reason. I should've mentioned that in the description because it is such an easy thing to overlook/not think about. I've updated the description to call that out.
